Dick Cheney is coming out...

...with his memoir next week and all I can say is, why? Why, Dick Cheney, couldn't you do this next year in the middle of the 2012 presidential campaign?

His publisher is calling it “without a doubt one of the largest media rollouts in nonfiction publishing history.”

Former Vice President Dick Cheney will emerge from private life next week for a publicity blitz surrounding his 576-page memoir, “In My Time,” and there are few major media outlets in print, radio and television that he will overlook.
